A Simple CI/CD Pipeline That Actually Works

The Problem with Most CI/CD Tutorials Most tutorials show you a pipeline that deploys a "hello world" app to a free Heroku instance. They skip the messy parts: secrets, rollbacks, and the moment your pipeline breaks because a dependency changed. I've been there. After years of fighting w...

52 Days, 2,340 Rows, Every Cost Logged as Zero: The Stop Hook Trap

Going from a $700/month student side hustle to a real business in six months came down to one thing: I stopped instructing Claude and started letting it run the whole environment autonomously. That environment then spent 52 days writing 2,340 log rows where every single cost was zero — and it never...

The Upload Succeeded, the Record Did Not

Originally published on hexisteme notes. I built a YouTube upload stage for a video pipeline, and the flow looked clean enough on paper: start a resumable session, PUT the file, get back a video ID, verify the upload actually landed the way it was supposed to, then write a local record marking the...

Why Are Your AI Automations Still Running on Your Laptop?

You wouldn’t run your SaaS off your laptop. So why are we doing it with AI? A lot of the AI automation I see right now still depends on a person sitting in the middle moving information around. Production throws an error. Someone checks AWS logs, drops them into Claude, figures out what happened...

Why I run ceremonies

By the time I wrote this, twenty numbered attempts at one Phebs scale gate had been consumed. None had established the full claim. That does not mean I ran the same experiment twenty times. Some attempts stopped during plan review or preflight. Some ran for hours. Some produced a signed, source-fre...

Azure Integration Services Interview Prep Part 4: Application Insights, Log Analytics, Distributed Tracing, and Debugging a Broken Pipeline

Part 1 covered the messaging services. Part 2 covered orchestration. Part 3 covered how the whole pipeline gets secured. None of that matters if something breaks at 2am and there's no way to find out why. This part covers the actual toolkit for debugging and monitoring a real Azure integration pipel...

A Broken-Link Check Counts 404s. The Resource That Breaks Your Padlock Returns 200.

Originally published on the Merlonix blog. A broken-link checker does one well-defined thing: it walks the <a href> links on a page, fetches each target, and flags the ones that come back wrong — a 4xx, a 5xx, a timeout, a connection that never opens. That answers a real question: which links...

AI promoted every developer to reviewer. Nobody tested the reviewer.

I wanted to disagree with 'AI made me a worse reviewer' from Michael Amachree (@dev_michael) . Instead I counted 204 of my own guards — and 89 % of them have never been asked to prove they can fail. Michael wrote something that I couldn't put down: AI didn't make me a worse coder, it made me a wors...

Is My Domain Blacklisted? Why a Public DNSBL Check Can Show a False Positive

Originally published on the Merlonix blog. A DNS blocklist (DNSBL, sometimes RBL) is a published list of IP addresses a provider has flagged as a source of spam. Mail servers consult these lists in real time: if the IP that just connected is listed, the message is usually rejected outright or filed...

AI Agent Memory Rots Silently — Audit Yours in One Command

Last week I published Verified Memory Vault — a free Obsidian vault that gives Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI persistent memory through a plain CLAUDE.md boot file and an append-only MEMORY.md.

Stop Putting Secrets in Plaintext

Most local dev setups end up with some secret — an API key, a cloud credential, a database password — sitting in a plaintext file on disk indefinitely. Here's a simple pattern that avoids that, using AWS credentials as the example. The problem with the usual approaches A credentials fi...

Designing a spacetime overlap index

A memory in our system is a small record: latitude, longitude, a timestamp, a radius, and a time window. The product question is simple to state and annoying to implement — given one memory, find every other discoverable memory whose place and time both fall inside the chosen bounds. Two dimensions...

.NET 10 NU1510 Package Pruning: Fix CI Without Breaking Legacy Targets

.NET 10 NU1510 package pruning can turn an SDK upgrade into a failed restore when a repository promotes warnings to errors. The tempting fix is to delete the named PackageReference everywhere. That is safe for a net10.0-only application when the framework supplies the assembly, but it can break a l...

Hiding WooCommerce Prices Is a Data-Exposure Problem, Not a CSS Problem

Catalog mode sounds simple: remove the price, replace “Add to cart” with “Request a quote,” and move on. That approach works only until someone checks the data behind the page. Modern WooCommerce stores do not render every product from one PHP template. A price may be present in the initial HTML,...

You Found the ERROR. The Cause Is in the Lines Before It

A real incident investigation starts the moment you find the ERROR line. The ERROR is the result — the cause is usually upstream. The WARN just above it, a timeout a few seconds earlier, a config load hundreds of lines back. If you can't see those, your report says "an error occurred" and nothing mo...

Why .env.example Gets Out of Sync — and What Actually Fixes It

Quick answer .env.example goes out of sync because it's a plain text file with no way to enforce that it matches your code — nothing runs when a variable is added, removed, or made conditional. The fix isn't a better example file; it's a schema: a single, versioned file that declares what...
